Returning starter.2012: Battled in training camp and won the starting kicking job over Trey Barrow... won SEC
All-Freshman Team honors for an outstanding first year ... Was a solid
14-of-20 on field goals for the season and connected on 33-of-37 extra
points overall ... Also took over as primary kickoff man during the last
half of the season, and had six of his 11 touchbacks on the year in his
final two games

"The main thing that I've been working on is my flexibility and getting
stronger. I've been doing a lot of core work and some leg work. I'm also
working on my plant foot and driving through the ball. You always have
to remember that its quality over quantity when you practice during the
summer because I know its easy for me to kick a lot of balls cause I'm
trying to get better as a kicker. Some of my plans and goals are that I
will work with my kicking coach, get stronger, build core strength, and
prepare for camp in August. (And maybe do some meditation for the mental
part of the game)."

Enters camp as the favorite to claim the open punting job that was
held for the last two season by Trey Barrow ... is the only Tiger on the roster with
game experience under his belt. 2011: Appeared in one game, and booted a 47-yard punt in his only attempt against Western Illinois.
